egg porch hack

Ingredients

• 2 Eggs (large, fresh)
• 2 cups Water (for poaching, use a deep saucepan)
• 1 tsp White Vinegar (helps the whites set quickly)
• 1 pinch Salt (optional, for seasoning after poaching)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Poaching Water

   Fill the saucepan with 2 cups of water, add 1 tsp vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. The water should show small bubbles rising but not a rolling boil.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: just below boiling

2. Crack Eggs into a Bowl

   One at a time, crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, being careful not to break the yolk.

   Time: PT1M

3. Set Up the Sieve

   Place the fine mesh sieve over the saucepan. Hold the sieve steady with one hand while you have the phone in the other (as demonstrated in the video).

   Time: PT1M

4. Slide the Egg into the Water

   Gently tilt the bowl and let the egg slide through the sieve into the simmering water. The egg should sink slowly and the white should begin to set around the yolk.

   Time: PT1M

5. Poach the Egg

   Let the egg cook for exactly 3 minutes for a runny yolk. Use a timer to keep precise timing.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: just below boiling

6. Remove and Drain

   Using the slotted spoon, lift the poached egg out of the water and place it on a paper towel to drain excess moisture.

   Time: PT1M

7. Season and Serve

   Season with a pinch of salt (optional) and serve immediately on toast, salads, or as part of Eggs Benedict.

   Time: PT1M
